"I think it was the best fit for me as a person and as a football player," Harris said. "I love coach (Gus) Malzahn; he' a great coach. I was just comfortable with all of their coaches and that was a big part of my decision."

Harris said that he would have committed to Alabama if Auburn didn't offer him a scholarship.
